      I downloaded the latest v4.1.2 ROM from xda-developers site a few days ago which is version i8190XXAMB2.
      The Kernel date is Thur Feb 7
      A check just now shows that it has been up 1d 18h 24m 14s so far and I still have 76% charge left.
      Battery problems? What battery problems?

        now i've got another reading of my battery. first i didn't notice it at all but i found what consuming my s3 mini from the start till now is not how many apps i get but from android kernel itself! It use 40 to 43 percentage from total use!!!

        i dont know what to do with android os. i have turn software update feature off but it didnt effect on it. what else i can do?

          @freefaller

          Still i dont understand why this crazy drainage happen. on my previous device, galaxy wonder gt-i8150, there's no such a thing. there i've just have to close app if im not using it. i dont have to force stop the app or even clear ram.

          well before i switch to this device, i make a full app backup using titanium backup. then after i purchase this device, search for root then restore all app from my backup. is this the main problem? i knew that a fresh instalation from market is the best rather than restoring from a backup...

                    I keep reading your post but I can't understand what you are describing.
                    If you are trying to describe how to remove an app from memory then the easiest way is to hold down the Home button on the Homescreen for 2 seconds and a list of apps that are in memory appear. You can use that list to go instantly to any recently used app or you can close/remove them from memory just by sliding them to the right or left. Is that what you mean?

                        this just make my phone not capable of multitasking. The apps i've just open were close if i open somenthing else but when i drag it to app info, the force stop button still glowing means it still runs. So im not ticking it. just stays normal.

                              Another tip about S-Voice. By default, when you press the Home button, the phone waits for a second press to activate S-Voice, which causes a slight lag.
                              Open your app drawer and select S-Voice. Press the left soft button and select 'Settings'. The second option down is 'Open via the home key'. Untick that option and you will find that it speeds your Homescreen up a little (reduces lag).

                                Better still, goto Settings/Developer options. Tap on it and turn it on. Scroll down to Apps and you will see the heading 'Do not keep activities'. Tick that box ON.

                                  *PS the percentage has nothing to do with what apps are still running.

                                      well here's a little idea that stupid but works.
                                      Remember after you open games, and other apps, after u close it, go to menu -> edit and tap an app that just you used, drag it in on app info. press force stop. that'll help a lot

                                        Ok about the people asking for the battery life...when i got the phone with the stock apps on it,the battery lasted at least 2 days of medium usage(phone calls,checking mails,listening some music,texting sms,some internet)...but as you install 3rd party apps some of them may impact deeply on the battery life...

                                        for example,when i installed the Dropbox app, it made a huge difference, my battery go drain very fast since it wasn't letting my phone to go to deep sleep,was keeping the phone AWAKE all the time...overnight my battery drainage was between 3-5% and after i installed that app it was draining my battery for over 30-35% overnight(i uninstalled that app and the battery came back to normal,thank you Freefaller,he actually helped me to solve it)...

                                        So stop saying the battery is bad,since it can and it will give you at least 1 day of heavy usage(2days of medium usage) without any problems...the problem is in us,we install 100 apps and when we don't use them we let most of them keep running on the background thus the battery will drain fast of course...

                                        Check out on the settings-battery,your Android OS should be between 18-24%,if it is above that,then a 3rd party app that you have installed is sucking your battery dry...also click on the graphical picture and there you can see how much your phone is actually "AWAKE",if you see a long blue line,then your phone is awake all the time=its not going to deep sleep at all=drains the battery all the time=some 3rd app is responsible...

                                        another thing to check is your S Voice...if your S Voice is set to activate to a voice command that means your phone is active all the time,listening all the time...disable that
